My Work Christmas Party


My company that I work for is based out of southern California but there are only 4 techs here in Arizona so they decided to fly us out there Friday so that we could join them for the Christmas party. They also put us up at the Marriott Resort for the night and we flew back Sat. morning. We had such a great time, and we were so grateful that they decided to do that for us. The picture here is of the Arizona techs.

Our "Santa Comes to Town" Block Party


So my neighbor Yvonne and I put together our 2nd annual "Santa Comes to Town" potluck block party last Monday and it really went well. We set up all the tables and food down at the end of our street which is a pretty safe location for the kids to play in the street. We also brought out 3 fire-pits and the kids had so much fun roasting there marshmallows. About an hour later Santa drove up on the Rural Metro Firetruck and surprised all the kids!!! It was amazing to see all there faces and there reactions. The fire department was so kind to help us out with this event. They even put there lights on as they came down the street. I will be honest, my eyes filled up a little with tears because the reactions from the kids was priceless. So Santa had 3 bags full of presents for all the kids (which each parent supplied for there own kids). My neighbor Heidi had this amazing photo Christmas background set up in her garage and she had opened up for Santa to go and sit down in there to hand out all the presents. Heidi also took the time and took pictures of all the kids sitting on his lap getting there gifts. It was so AWESOME that she was able to capture this evening for us and we all thank you Heidi!!! After everyone got pictures with Santa and he handed out all his gifts Santa waved goodbye as he drove down the street in the firetruck... lights, sirens and all!!! The evening was so memorable!!! Thanks to everyone who helped us make this so special!

Happy Halloween!!!
This was taken outside Katie's class in the playground area before school on Halloween. They were going to start out the day with a costume parade which was awesome, there were so many cute costumes. I had the day off of work that day so was able to be a class helper which ended up being a fabulous day. Katie couldn't have been happier to have her mom there all day!!
